According to The New York Times, Donald's building monuments to himself makes him "an inescapable force."
No.
It simply reminds the world what a pathetic, insecure loser we put in power. And it's humiliating.

The more Trump hosts overtly partisan campaign-style events with active-duty troops on military bases, the more it might start to seem normal.
But nothing about this dangerous trend should be seen as routine.

Trump’s efforts to politicize the U.S. military become even more brazen and radical
The more the president delivers highly partisan messages to active-duty troops, the more he targets a bedrock principle of the United States.

The administration’s promise to “wind down” the Minnesota operation is already unraveling. The timeline is suddenly vague, the commitment conditional, and the clarity Minnesotans were owed has evaporated. After everything that’s happened, this kind of backtracking is unacceptable.

Nominating someone who has attacked Black Americans, demeaned Jewish communities, and pushed white‑grievance mythology to a global diplomatic role doesn’t just test our standards. It exposes them. And it tells the world, with perfect clarity, exactly who we are willing to empower.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Keep a VERY close watch on Zorro Ranch. Until warrants are in hand and every inch is searched, NOTHING leaves…no trucks, no trailers, no “deliveries.” Drones can document digging/excavation. There are legal ways to secure evidence and force accountability.
